Yes, given that the axis and magnetic poles are "nearly" the same I have assumed that the molten mostly iron core generated the current - rotation, convection and turbulence.

They are building a Tokamak in France which uses magnetic confinement to squeeze the suspended plasma. Bussard's Polywell sounds like an interesting solution - reading on it made me consider what would happen if a discharge occurred between two charged electrodes occurred inside a magnetic tube.
When the discharge occurs the ions/plasma should generate a magnetic field (right hand rule), if that was inside another magnetic field (the tube). As the velocity increases the field should also increase which would interact with the tubes magnetic field. Would it compress the ions/plasma ? A discharge can generated high temperatures and pressures. If the material providing the discharge medium is fusible......
..... I assume that this would not work, magnetic field squashes the discharge ...... it is a musing.
Back to electric / magnetic fields they may be a manifestation of n-dimensional space. Sadly lacking in the math to follow the implications of these theories and how they apply to my silly questions......
